No, it will not be of benefit to such people, at least not in the long term. Such a kludge would do two things: 1) Remove the incentive to get the broken gateways fixed. Once established, such an "interim" convention would never go away. 2) Encourage people to generate messages of this form. Such messages are not in MIME format and will not be interpreted by many correct MIME implementations. -- _.John G. Myers Internet: jgm+@CMU.EDU LoseNet: ...!seismo!ihnp4!wiscvm.wisc.edu!give!up
